I've heard this is also the activation of a gang initiation process where they pursue the flasher of lights and murder them, unbeknownst to the light flasher.

I thought they just removed a kidney and you woke up in an ice bath with a scar?

Not that I've heard. The flashing for gang stuff was at night when they had their lights off to tell them to turn them on. That was 10 yrs ago too.

I've heard it's the new way gay guys communicate to each other. Flash lights, meat at next rest area.

Can't decide if "meat" was Freudian typo or joke.

most people are paranoid and stupid now days, last time I tried to tell someone on the road that one of their tires was completely flat they kept looking at me like I was a crazy person and didn't even roll down the window to try to understand what I was trying to tell them, I stopped caring about trying to help people on the road unless its an accident, because most times it ends up backfiring

If you help someone flashing, they may return the favor someday. It's circular. More you do, more others do, more chance you get helped.

Nah I'm good. I've experienced the whole "give an inch, take a mile" thing in my life.

Granted, flashing high beams to warn people of police won't lead to anyone trying to take advantage of me, but still. If I know you and trust you I'll jump through hoops to help you out, but for strangers? Pass.

I'll still flash, but I use Waze. If people haven't figured that out yet in VA, then they're just morons. That program has saved my ass so many times.

I do day or night,

HOWEVER, I have seen people copped by this 2 things

1> here in Canada on a ticket fighting site; that a guy flashed a cop (unmarked) and they got done for riding with high beams

2> in the UK, you can get a ticket for interfering or obstruction of justice or something similar

but yep I do, and also have been thankful for them that have to me
